Diani Beach Escape
Four nights on Kenya's finest stretch of sand, with a Mombasa Old Town tour and an optional Wasini dolphin dhow.
Diani is consistently voted Africa's leading beach destination, and it deserves it — 25 km of white sand, a reef lagoon that stays swimmable at all tides, and Colobus monkeys in the forest strip behind the hotels.
The package includes a guided tour of Mombasa Old Town and Fort Jesus, and you can add a Wasini Island dhow trip for dolphins and Kisite Marine Park snorkelling.
